Looters Reportedly Run Off With $2.4M Worth of Watches From SoHo Rolex Store

Looters Reportedly Run Off With $2.4M Worth of Watches From SoHo Rolex Store

In every war, there are going to be casualties, and our hearts are with the hardworking black business owners who are victims of the recent looting.

However, many people aren’t feeling as sympathetic to larger corporations, especially the ones who profit from Black culture.

Police sources say the Rolex store in SoHo was cleaned out. “The Rolex store is empty,” the source said. “They stole like $2.4 million in Rolexes.”

The store was one of many stores that were looted on Sunday night. According to social media, Best Buy, Chanel, StockX, Lululemon, Apple, and more stores all got hit up.

NYPD Deputy Commissioner John Miller acknowledged that extremists were showing up after protests to riot, and take advantage of the fight for justice against George Floyd.

However, a spokesperson for the Rolex store “no watches of any kind were stolen, as there weren’t any on display in the store. There were simply windows broken and some vitrines smashed.”

It isn’t a secret that Jay-Z is the world’s richest rapper and he’s quietly shown ways to illustrate that truth. The latest high-roller feat from Hov occurred when he sent VIP invitations to Meek Mill and Swizz Beatz to an upcoming gala, which came equipped with Rolex watches.

The invitations were for the upcoming Shawn Carter Foundation gala and fundraising event for the foundation set to take place on November 15. Both Meek and Swizz took to Instagram to show off the invites, with the producer mentioning in his post that Jay-Z also threw in a bottle of Ace of Spades.

According to Rolex’s website, the rose gold-plated Rolex Cosmograph Daytona sells for $37,450.

Dwyane Wade is living his best retired life off the court. D. Wade recently thanked his team in a big and timely way for holding him down during his 15-year career.

Page Six is reporting that the Miami Heat legend treated his staff to a day of fine food and luxurious gifts. The gossip site says that the baller took his people to a private lunch at Seaspice Brasserie and Lounge in Miami on Wednesday, July 24. His crew reportedly dined on exotic seafood dishes including octopus a la plancha, grilled oysters and coconut salmon ceviche.

Aside from picking up the bill Flash also gifted the lucky 14 employees Rolex watches. Wade purchased several luxury timepieces so his people could choose from the Swiss watch manufacturer’s acclaimed portfolio. Rumor has it the gesture cost him close to $120,000.

Earlier this month his NBA tenure was commemorated with a cover on NBA2K20.

The Audacity: Future Blasts People Who Share Their Business Online, Seemingly Responds To Rolex Backlash

Future — the same guy who comes for his ex, Ciara, and her husband, Russell Wilson every chance he gets — had the nerve to shade people who tell their business on social media. Now, Nayvadius

“How much u get paid a week for telling your business to social media??” he asked via Twitter. Just back in January, he had every opportunity to keep it cute when asked about his son’s stepdad Russell. Instead he shaded Russell and his relationship with Ciara, saying “He do exactly what she tell him to do.” That was far from the first time he came for the happy couple… remember when he tweeted about Ciara’s “control problems?”

After that highly hypocritical tweet, Future seemed to address the backlash he faced for gifting his son a Rolex on his 5th birthday. If you missed the hilariousness that ensued when Baby Future didn’t seem to care for the new timepiece much, tune in here.

Future tweeted..

Maybe Future is a changed man. We’ll believe it when we see it. For now, we’ll get advice on how we should live life elsewhere.

Drake’s Rolex Collection Continues to Grow

Without a doubt, the Rolex wrist watch is one of the most sought-after pieces of jewelry in Hip Hop. While Meek Mill may be most known for referencing his rollie more than anyone else, it looks like Drake is transitioning from Champagnepapi to “Bussdownpapi.”

Like Ash wanting to catch every Pokemon or Thanos wanting to collect all seven Infinity stones. Drizzy is on a mission all seven buss down Rolex watches. Making good progress, he took to Instagram to let fans know he is a proud owner of three buss downs. However, there are four watches still out there.

Even though the video Drizzy shared had a cold tonal hue, the diamonds still dance in the dark as Drake tilts his wrist. Flooded like an ocean, he must’ve been impressed by the jewels of the Migos while on tour with them. His Rolex collection continues to grow.

Unbeknownst to him, Pusha T is allegedly is in possession of the final buss down Rolex. We wonder how much the seven watch set cost all together? Drenched in ice, these watches aren’t cheap. Even without diamonds Rolexes are reserved for the Champagne sippers who can afford them. Last year, a Rolex Daytona owned by Paul Newman sold for a whopping $17. 8 million dollars.

“This a Rollie, not a stopwatch, shit don’t ever stop. This the flow that got the block hot, shit got super hot, aye.” Hopefully, he can complete his collection.
